Senate candidate and Rep. Tammy Baldwin (Wis.) attacked some of her fellow Wisconsinites during her speech at the Democratic convention Thursday.
“I know you've heard a lot about Wisconsin lately,” Baldwin said. “You've heard about Paul Ryan, who wants to end Medicare as we know it. You've heard about Scott Walker, who took basic rights away from teachers, nurses and public employees.
“Maybe you've even heard about Tommy Thompson, our former governor, who went to Washington, cashed in on his special interest connections and never really came back. Well, I'm here to tell you that they don't speak for all of Wisconsin.”
Baldwin is running against Thompson to replace retiring Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.).
“Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Tommy Thompson — they think they're the only ones who speak for Wisconsin,” Baldwin said. “But come November, the Wisconsin I know — the America I love — will speak out loud and clear, and keep us moving forward: forward with a strong middle class, forward on a path to prosperity, forward with President Obama!”
